The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Joyful by Escada is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of vibrant freshness and sweetness. The composition opens with melon and black currant, followed by mandarin orange and peony, creating an initial burst of fruity and floral energy. As it evolves, magnolia and nectarine add layers of warmth and depth, while violet leaf and honey introduce a subtle green sweetness. The base notes of moss and sandalwood provide a grounding earthiness that balances the overall composition.
Apply this fragrance in light spritzes — it blooms quickly on the skin but holds its vibrancy close. Avoid heavy application as it can overwhelm the delicate balance between fruity and floral notes.

Ursula Wandel
From photography to Hugo WomanUrsula Wandel discovered perfumery through curiosity and a background in chemistry, initially drawn to photography before enrolling at the Givaudan perfumery school in Geneva, where she spent her first year learning around 3,000 raw materials and her second imitating well-known perfumes like a painter studying the old masters.
